BarFly's Review of St. John's Pub
Unique domed building was originally built as an exhibition pavillion for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition, then floated up the river to its present location, where it served as church, vet's club, and bingo hall, prior to its McMen's acquisition. It's now among the Brothers' most charming properties, with their additions including an attractive patio, and a $3 movie theater, as well.

Fantastic location, fantastic building, fantastic concept McMenamin's has going. What a crying shame that several of their properties, this one especially, has horrible service. I live close by so I have been there several times. Sadly, the last two experiences were so bad I simply wont go again. Most recently the server took forever to come to my table. On the way she overheard me express to my husband (not even to her) that I was disappointed because this location no longer serves fish and chips(what kind of pub doesn't serve fish and chips?). She got to the table said something very rude to me and walked away without taking my drink order. Then she could be heard all the way from the bar saying, "I don't have to take that bullsh*t. I don't need it." She used a few other choice words. No one ever came back to the table, so we left. I wrote to the company about it (in more detail, this is the short version) and never heard a word back. Aint that a shame.
Don't waste your time or money. St. Johns has plenty of other places with good food, good drinks and servers that appreciate your business and tips. Downtown is small enough you can walk to 10 different bars within minutes of this one. No reason to stop here.
